DROPPO 50 - 300

DROPPO^® 50 - 300 drop pelletizing systems are designed to produce from small to medium (DROPPO^® 50) up to largescale throughputs (DROPPO^® 300).

The core component of the system is the die head, where the low-viscosity melt or liquid flows through concentrically arranged die holes and emerges as a fine molten strand which then separates into droplets. Harmonic vibration applied to the melt ensures that these droplets are extremely uniform in size.
Surface tension, a specific material property, then forms the droplets into perfect spheres as they continue to fall. As soon as the droplets have formed into perfect spheres, they are cooled and solidified.

Air, nitrogen or water may be used as a cooling medium for the droplets in a range of different configurations. Air cooling is recommended for water-soluble products or for products where it is difficult to remove the adhering water from the droplets, e.g. waxes and fatty acids. These droplets are cooled by flowing air as they drop through a cooling tower. Required drop heights range from 8 to 20 m, depending on the diameter of the droplets, as well as their heat capacity and thermal conductivity.

• Perfectly spherical, dust-free pellets ensure superb conveyance and high bulk-density storage, as well as precise dosing during subsequent processing
• Drop process unit may be integrated may be integrated into existing lines e.g. spray towers
• High profitability due to reduced energy consumption and low manpower requirements
